So recently, someone has made a tweet about [https://twitter.com/Tetra_Flora/status/1171146721239412737 our wiki's bias towards American smashers], or rather, how we mostly say Americans are the "best players in the world" and very top Japanese players "the best in their country." | So recently, someone has made a tweet about [https://twitter.com/Tetra_Flora/status/1171146721239412737 our wiki's bias towards American smashers], or rather, how we mostly say Americans are the "best players in the world" and very top Japanese players "the best in their country." | ||

Since this is still active I thought I'd resurrect it. I believe that if a player is to be called the best, there should be significant backing behind it. Results, highest on PGR (though even that's iffy), notable wins, etc. I think a better way to put it is "among the best in the world", which leaves it open-ended as to who is actually the best. I think adding it to wiki policy moving forward is best. --[[File:King K.

Why don't we just put "is often regarded as being one of best in x" instead of saying outright is the best. I definitely think the bias is real. People often say Bassmage is the best Jigglypuff in the world, all the while a player like Arika has the history, pedigree, tournament placings and is ranked in the top 100 of his country. This is just one example, but we cant be the arbiter of who is the best. However, we can describe how professional smashers view the player [[User:Wiifitkid|Wiifitkid]] ([[User talk:Wiifitkid|talk]]) 19:35, April 28, 2020 (EDT) | Why don't we just put "is often regarded as being one of best in x" instead of saying outright is the best.
